V 2 , Xl H l I f, f SQXXQCIDEM-1' if Mr. Sias, Working Hard at Stanford, Yearns for Home Mr. Sias is now taking a graduate course at Leland-Stanford University. All reports tend to show that he is studying hard and win- ning honors in his work, which is a difficult one. A letter received from Mr. Sias recently states that he will be glad to see the halls of old West High and the pupils who haunt them. This feeling is reciprocated, for certainly it will bring quite as much joy to see him in the West High halls or at his regular desk. In the meantime best wishes of all the students are with him as he toils and grinds.

The praise, the honor, the popu- larity all reflected back to Mr. Spouse. Since Mr. Spouse has been so interested as to devote time outside of school to drill his clubs, it is expected that the students repay that favor. All that is asked is that all students who possess a little vocal ability come to see Mr. Spouse immediately concerning their ad- vent into one of the choruses or glee clubs.
